Star Wars: The Force Awakens – thoughts?

Let’s be honest, J.J. Abrams would have had to monumentally and catastrophically mess up the new Star Wars teaser trailer for the fans to descend upon him, venting their wrath.

That said, there’s some intriguing imagery and things to consider. Whilst the internet is ablaze with speculation as to what these visual clues could mean, they could simply just be tasty shots of the upcoming film. Ever considered that?

What we DO know is: there will be stormtroopers (or at least a character played by John Boyega dressed as one for a brief moment in the trailer); there will be Sith (or at least one Sith with a light sabre shaped like a greatsword); there will be X-Wing fighter jets; there will be… the Millenium Falcon.

And there will be a girl in desert robes (Daisy Ridley) who appears to be on Tatooine, but we don’t know for sure.

That’s about all you can say.

The release date of the film is a year away, so there’s bound to be more clues, but to go overboard now seems premature. Save your excitement I say. At least until the next trailer comes out and we have a bit more to go on.

One thing I WILL say, from the scant scenes shown in this teaser, Abrams looks to have the nailed the tone. It looks exciting. Modern, fresh, slightly dark and gritty, yet light and adventurous. Exactly what you’d have hoped he would bring to this franchise. However, we all interpret things differently.
